Cornell’s TE Ryder Kurtz is an FCS All-America-caliber mismatch machine
In the 2025 season, Ryder Kurtz turned into Cornell’s most reliable pass-catching tight end, posting 44 receptions for 523 yards and 4 touchdowns while earning All-America recognition and preseason All-America honors for 2026. He’s a 6-5, 233-pound matchup problem with legit production, proven red-zone value, and the rare distinction of owning Cornell tight end records for receptions, yards, and touchdowns. If your team wants a big-bodied TE who can move chains and stress linebackers, Kurtz absolutely belongs on the board.
